MAN MODERNE MASCULINE

"Join the Aesthetic"

  1. The New York Metropolitans are your team. You needn't root for them, but you must take no other logo on your cap. Acceptable versions are the Man Moderne "MMM"™ (indefinitely available for lease to the New York Metropolitans, at their request), "Mr. Met", and the Metropolitan "NY" glyph. They are always to be referred to in the formal "The Metropolitans" or "That New York Club", and never the vulgar shortened form.
  2. A Man Moderne, of the Aesthetic, is a man of posture, and must have them.
  3. Confidence is a shortcut; Discomfort is the natural and normal state of a Man Moderne. Seek it, and bathe.
  4. The slogan of the Man Moderne is "Trust No Bitch (TNB)". This is not meant to dispairage the fairer sex, for the Aesthetic of the Man Moderne is open to embrace from any human at all (without exception). Instead, TNB fights to embody the denial of the "Bitch Conception" in general. A Man Moderne is an ally to all good folke, through and through, and never against those not Aesthetically riding. Rage is anathema to the Aesthetic. TNB seeks to free the Feminine from centuries of tyrrany, to dissasociate the slur, and so a Woman Disagreeable is no bitch; in deed, they who accuse of bitchery are truly the bitches themselves, and through their bigoted uncool deserve no trust!
  5. The Aesthetic demands response -- if asked, a question must be answered. The answer need not hold sense.
  6. We seek the chaotic, but powerful energy of Titus Andromedon, a prophet of the Aesthetic. As a result, we are contractually obliged to annually watch "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt", and to ensure that it remains available with ease.
  7. There is no shame in the carrying of a folding fan, a Moderne Masculine is a creature of poise but becomes besweatted like any other creture. The Aesthetic demands a rejection of uncool-ness, and so we fan.
  8. A true Man Moderne Masculine owns two caps, no more, no less. The style matters not, so long as Rule One is observed. If the lesser cap becomes damaged beyond repair, it must be destroyed in flame, in public, stuffed with sage and lavender, amidst music. Any who attend will be served. At the soonest convienience, a new cap must be obtained, and the new cap will now be the greater cap, and so the passage of years is respected. The caps need not be worn.
  9. The Moderne understand the greatest calling is the creation of Art, the pure Aesthetic, and so a Man Moderne will do anything in his power to ease the burden of such creation, and the creation and cultivation of it's creators.
  10. Moderne Masculine's favorite Greek god is Persephone, because she is queen of spring as well as the underworld. This is a fresh.
